Nice sunny day an we were off to an early start with Ed and Fran picking us up at 6:35 and off to Luxemburg, WI (16 miles Southwest). Today was the annual "Dairy Breakfast" held on the 1st Sunday in July at a different dairy farm each year in Door County. Ed and Fran have been going to this for many years and they will serve 4-5,000 people. What a huge event which takes a lot of people to put together (FFA and 4-H groups + alumni and many parents.) They serve breakfast from 6-11:30.
This year the event was held at the Lazy J Dairy Farm and along with a hearty breakfast (all-you-can-eat pancakes, scrambled eggs w/ham and cheese curds, they have a petting zoo, many tractors (oldies and current), they had Door County ice cream (nothing like eating ice cream at 8 AM on a Sunday morning), many trinkets for the kiddies, recipes, and tours of the barns seeing the milking set-up and the cows (various breeds). They had several wagons pulled by tractors to shuttle folks from the big parking lot (field) to the tents. It was a beautiful morning to be on the farm and we thoroughly enjoyed it all.
They dropped us back at the marina, we changed clothes and onto 10:00 Mass at St. Joseph's - beautiful Mass with Father Matthew (young priest), great choir ((patriotic tunes), and best of all, this large church was packed!!!

We ran a few errands + picked up some iced coffees at 5J Coffee (5th and Jefferson). What a funky place - we could go inside the house or order outside - the yard was full of wicker, metal, and every kind of furniture + picnic tables, etc. Never saw anything like it. The bathroom had a tub full of fake bubbles and flamingos, and so much other stuff! On home for naps and just chilled this Sunday afternoon till we left for WalMart and then to Ed and Fran's.
We sat outside on their deck (beautiful private woodsy backyard) and later had salad, pizza and Door County cherry pie a la mode! YUMMY!!!
More visiting and then good bye hugs and Ed took us back to the marina. What a fun 5 days this has been with these dear long-time friends! We sure thank them for their hospitality and showing us a very good time!
